Entry restrictions by the Japanese government due to COVID-19 have finally been eased, and new international students have gradually been able to come to Japan from April 2022. We would like to introduce some examples of activities of Geiko Student Supporters who support international students and plan international events! Currently, 19 Geiko Student Supporters, ranging from undergraduate to graduate students, are active on the Ohashi Campus.

For 40 new international students coming to Japan (as of July 12, 2022), 12 Geiko student supporters provided on-site support at ward offices, opening bank accounts, etc.
